In anticipation of his visit, Santa’s Sleigh arrives at the ByWard Market on Friday October 25 and will be available for photos until Sunday October 27. The big bearded man’s bright red sleigh will be on dazzling display every day in anticipation of the Christmas Ottawa Craft Show the following weekend.

Accompanied by his very busy Elves (taking a break from their toy-making) Santa invites ‘children of all ages’ to sit in Santa’s bright red magical sleigh. Don’t forget your cameras!

Children should also bring their Christmas wish list with them because the official Letters to Santa Post Box will be accepting mail that will be delivered directly to the North Pole.
This Christmas experience is complimentary for everyone.

Ottawa Craft Shows is working with The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. All voluntary donations will go directly to the CHEO Foundation.

The following weekend, Santa will be attending the Christmas Ottawa Craft Show – Saturday November 2 and Sunday November 3 – at the Centurion Conference & Event Center. There’s a winter wonderland of gigantic proportions complete with a 12’ Christmas tree, Santa’s magical sleigh, holiday music and so much more.

“We love the opportunity to bring more than 13,000 square feet of some of Canada’s best artists, crafters and creators of gourmet foods – together during this holiday time for the people in our Nation’s Capital Region”, according to Organizer Mark Kuper.

The two-day Christmas Ottawa Craft Show is literally ‘One Stop Shopping’ for everyone on your holiday ‘nice’ list.

“Watching the look on children’s’ faces as they sit in Santa’s Sleigh or meet Santa is really a magical experience,” concluded Kuper. “Come see for yourself while you visit the artists at the Christmas Ottawa Craft Show November 2nd and 3rd. “
